    Kim Bailey, trainer of Last Samuri: "What a great run, he jumped phenomenally well. Sadly there is only one place to be, I hate being second, I am just so proud of the horse."

  3. Rule The World wins the Grand National

    Winning jockey David Mullins: "It's unbelievable. I couldn't expect things to have gone any better, it all went to plan. I'm very grateful for being given the chance to ride this horse."
